Looks like support businesses are sprouting up around Kickstarter. With the success of so many projects through crowdfunding now you have companies that specialize in providing services for these campaigns.

Here's one that involves manufacturing your product once it's been funded...

.................

We were made to make products for Kickstarter creators. I started this business 7 years ago with the idea that new technologies would become available to allow individuals to create new ideas and sell them competitively on the national and global stage. Kickstarter is that technology for funding and market validation just as we are that technology for manufacturing. We can get legitimate manufacturing quotes to help you define your donation levels. If you are already on Kickstarter and need to start manufacturing your project, we can manage the entire manufacturing process for you, everything from manufacturing and quality control to packaging and shipping will be taken care of through our expert teams in the US and in China resulting in very competitive pricing and, more importantly, the quality your customers are expecting.

I just had an extended conversation with a fellow from Texas who's been producing animated videos for... get this... clients who want to take their projects to Kickstarter!

An animator doing work for hire for others who want to initiate crowdfunding campaigns for their projects!

Talk about a support industry!

Of course I told him in a very positive way and in no uncertain terms that he should be producing animation for his own properties and taking them to Kickstarter as well.

He was also under the impression that by going with a crowdfunding campaign that he would be compromising the ownership of his projects. He thought that when people pledged they were actually investing in the traditional sense of the word.

Charles, I just had a conversation with Greg D who owns the crowdfunding site http://www.gofundme.com/?aff=gbone of the top 3 crowdfunding sites about successful campaigns. Video helps as does artwork so that secondary market is indeed growing. People need anything they can get that will make their campaigns work. I focus on medical help which is what GoFundMe is foremost in and is propelling them to the top.

Just last week a lady needed some medical help and in just a few hours went from 0 to over $30k for treatments outside of the U.S.. Hers was a special case as she used to be a famous celeb but the fact she could get medical help made us all feel we had done something worthwhile.

So let's say an average artist could make a few grand from doing a presentation. Now that could be quite a haul over time too as more people request their help.
